2.3 Connect Devices to the DVR
This section lists some important notices that should be read before making
any connection to the DVR.
Connecting Required Devices
Before power up the unit, cameras and a monitor should be connected to the
unit for basic operation. If needed, connect a call monitor for displaying full
screen video of all installed cameras in sequence.
Connecting Short-term Device
If any short-term devices shall be installed to the DVR as parts of the unit
system, such as USB ThumbDrive® or any USB devices, etc, make sure
those devices are connected only after the unit is powered up. The reason is
because the DVR can recognize the external devices only after the power-up
process is done completely.
2.4 Rear Panel Connections
There are various connectors on the rear panel for the DVR installations. The
following shows the detailed description of each connector.
Main Monitor (BNC/ VGA)
BNC and VGA output connectors are offered for
connecting to a main monitor. The main monitor displays
live image and playback recorded video in either
full-screen or split-window format.
Call Monitor
The call monitor is used to display full screen video of all
installed cameras in sequence. The BNC call monitor
connector allows users to connect the DVR with an
optional call monitor.
Video In
A group of BNC connectors is offered for video input
streams from installed cameras. The number of
connectors is equal to the number of channels.
